You should give your site's name & your email address in the resource box. If you have an ezine, you should give the email address for subscribing to your ezine. In the Resource Box, it is better to give a short bio of yourself and your area of expertise. Those who are impressed by your article will definitely subscribe to your ezine as they thirst for more quality information.

Successful marketers never try to sell their products at the first instance. What they try is to get a free subscription to their Ezine! It is their sophisticated approach that sells !

The main principle of Marketing is Never Sell - Influence. It should not look like business. If you write an ad, it should not look like an ad.

Once people subscribe to your ezine via your Resource box, you can give freebies - free reports, free ebooks and free consultancy. They become your loyal customers ! They will refer more people to your site and your business will thrive.

Once the article with the Resource Box is finished, you have to market it to your target audience.

What I used to do is go to the search engines and type in "ezines" which deal with your subject.

Since I started writing articles on Astrology, I used to go to Yahoo, Ebay, Altavista etc and type in Astrology Ezine and search.

This search will give a list of Astrology Ezines. If your subject is Medicine type Medicine ezine and search. 
Suppose it gives 40 lists. You go to these websites and write down their email addresses.  Then you write a covering letter to the Zine Publisher and submit your article to be published by him/her.

I used to write like this:

Dear Zine Publisher,

I came to know about your esteemed Zine from the Net.

I am a writer on Astrology with a website - http://www.eastrovedica.com/

I have written an article on Astrology. Please publish it in your Zine/Site.

It is a win-win situation for both of us as you get good content and I get exposure in return.

Thanks and regards,

You can also submit your articles to Site Owners. They may display your article on their site. Site Owners are looking for quality content. If you can provide that, they will definitely accept your articles.

After writing articles on the subject, one should group these articles and compile them into an ebook.

After I wrote nine articles on Astronumerology, I compiled them into an Ebook called Astronumerology and distributed it free.

Search Engine Optimisation

When a searcher searches on the Web, what happens?  He types in a keyword and then searches appear on the search engines. The SE s will  search and only web pages with optimised  keywords will appear in the first ten. So optimise your web pages. Optimisation means stuffing your web pages with the most popular keywords. Then your web pages will appear on the SEs, resulting in great traffic and your site or blog will be a big hit ! In order to do that, you should have highly optimised articles on your sites. If you write optimised articles, you can be an instant success, as those optimised articles will bring in traffic  ! As we said before, optimised unique content writing is the secret mantra of the Web !

Optimised Content Writing

Apart from Viral Marketing, there are other forms of E Marketing like Social Marketing ( Social Bookmarking and Socian Networking) , Customer Relationship Marketing, Perpetual Marketing, Blog Marketing, Relationship Marketing, Directing Marketing, Affiliate Marketing etc. All these forms of Marketing are costly, but Article Marketing, which is Viral Marketing, is free of cost and is hailed as Free Advertising. Not only my articles are published on the Net, on more than 200 sites, they are also published in offline magazines and it is Free Advertising for me ! It saves much advertising dollars !
